Yah. This doesn’t work if you are scrolling through several dozen apps in the app drawer. They all look too much alike.

When I read the headline without context, I thought casting directors were just casting actors unseen over the phone.
But this is worse.


Exactly! Literally every major street in Albuquerque is a stroad.
It’s insanely dangerous to walk anywhere here.


Which part sounds made up? The increase in number of people living on the street? The idea that people living on the street are often pedestrians? The idea that an increase in the number of pedestrians will correlate with an increase in the number of pedestrian deaths?
Here’s a surprisingly good analysis of the problem. They concluded increased homeless accounts for roughly 13% of the recent increase in pedestrian deaths.
As I said elsewhere, this isn’t a single problem. It’s almost certainly a multitude of problems. A multitude that all contribute to the same result.
Another problem I pointed out in the very comment you replied to, is that our roads are almost intentionally designed to maximize the killing of pedestrians with motor vehicles.


Indeed! And many of those trying to save gas money, like to semi-permanently park someplace, then walk to work and most places.


Your conflating a fork, with using an engine in your own browser. Nobody is forking Gecko, Blink, or WebKit. LibreWolf is a modified Firefox, not a fork. The LibreWolf team takes every update to Firefox, removes a few features, ads a few more, and releases their version. Same with Brave. Neither is maintaining their own separate fork. They just take the latest from Mozilla or Google and incorporate their code into it.
Maybe someone could fork one of them. Though they wouldn’t be getting any assistance with feature or security updates from the original branch anymore. They’d be totally on their own with what could quickly be an old code base. Which is why nobody does that.
But back to the important part. What do I need to be saved from?


You’re thinking short term.
And, what do you mean save me? Am I dying?


I’m sorry I didn’t mention all the people who don’t matter to my point.
But since you’re bias is making assumptions about things I didn’t mention, I usually see half a dozen a week who aren’t obviously living on the street. Once every couple months or so, I even xray a hospital employee who was biking into work when they got hit by a car, or bailed trying to avoid one. But that doesn’t mean they couldn’t be one of the working homeless.


I can’t wait for Servo


I’m an xray in a public trauma hospital.
I see at least half a dozen homeless hit by cars every shift.
They don’t set up their tents on the literal street, but they do have to cross it countless times everyday.
Combined with murder machines called stroads. Yah it’s a big part of the problem. One of many parts.


Right, but majority or not, if homelessness more than doubles, the number of pedestrians will also increase. Will it not?
Keep in mind there is no one single cause here. There are half a dozen major causes probably.


Cost of living in that time has gone up substantially nation wide. In my city (Albuquerque) there are easily twice as many people on the street today as 15 years ago. This report says it’s gone up %40 in just the last 2 years alone.


Don’t forget the rising costs of living, forcing more people onto the street, creating more pedestrian-vehicle collisions generally.
And the widespread prevalence of stroads in the US, which are more or less the most dangerous environment for pedestrians humanity has ever invented.


I’ve tried those. They aren’t as good as YouTube Premium.


But in exchange for loosing those music features, I gained ad free YouTube Premium.
So yah, I keep the subscription.


That’s how much I pay for YouTube Premium.
I also buy CDs, or Bandcamp downloads directly for those I really like, and want to donate to.
I “curate” whole discographies of stuff that I want to “archive”.
But when someone recommends music I haven’t heard of, I load up their most popular stuff on YouTube Music and listen to a bunch there, ad free. Then decide if or how I obtain more.


I still have the original Google Play Music All Access intro deal of $7.99/month from 2013.
They contractually can’t raise the price on me ever. 12 years so far.


Use it for what? Genuinely asking.
It sends files and stuff between devices right?
But it’s limited to what’s nearby?
I’m not sure how it’s better than messaging platforms, they do that pretty well. And from any distance.


I’ve literally never used, or thought of using a feature like this.
I got my family and friends useing Signal. Use that for photos all the time, in person or not. Files, maybe a couple times in 5 years.
That can work then. I might try it.
